Desperation rages.
Under its influence, forms are skipped, political correctness is abandoned, and dark intentions previously whispered or subtly transmitted by restrained messengers are shouted.
Desperation, said the writer Dan Brown, turns human beings into animals.
The last days of 2020 were a finished sample of that conversion.
The judicial decision that
forces Amado Boudou to return to prison
, with a conviction confirmed by the Supreme Court in the Ciccone case, triggered a clarifying verbal incontinence in the former vice president.
Making clear what is understood by the division of powers in the K universe
, without the slightest dissimulation, he launched: “Without a doubt I thought that, one year with this government in power, it was not going to be like that ... It is clear that this situation requires a political solution ”.
Sentenced since 2018 to 5 years and 10 months in prison for
passive bribery and negotiations incompatible with the public function
, Boudou is not alone in his crusade against judicial independence, and for his manipulation by the Executive.
The ineffable
Hebe de Bonafini
immediately came out in his support, with a "We are not going to let Amado go back to jail, we have to help him in some way", to finish
"with the law it is not possible
."
And addressing Alberto Fernández, he warned: “
The Government cannot continue to function like this
, and the President, the President, has to look a little bit at what we say ... There cannot be political prisoners in our homeland or political prisoners because that is how we are leaving that one day they also take it to Cristina ”.
The concern over the judicial fate of the vice president appears in all the claims.
Boudou included it in his, the former piquetero Luis D'Elía had done it days ago and
Milagro Sala
, the leader of Tupac Amaru with house arrest in Jujuy and his own program on Radio El Uncover, from where he chicaneled: “
A Despite the fact that we are living with the national and popular government, which has already completed a year
- a fact that he remarked -
we, the political prisoners, continue
”.
As part of the Kirchnerist creed, he once again waved the issue of lawfare -another unavoidable in all claims-, summoned the militants to come "to react" and issued the warning that cannot be absent in any self-respecting Kirchnerist declaration of faith: "
What are you waiting for, for Cristina to be locked up in jail?"
It is fair to say it, in her public letters it was the former president herself who was in charge of making her complaints well established, and of slipping the corresponding criticisms of the Government that, - it is also fair to clarify it, integrates -, for not having its judicial horizon cleared and that of his children, after a year in power.
As it seems that not a few people skipped the classes on Democratic Education, Civic Instruction, or whatever the subject has been called over the decades, it should be remembered that in 1748, the Baron de Monstesquieu, in "The spirit of laws ”, Laid the foundations for the
division of powers
.
Roughly, each one with its powers, it is a question of
guaranteeing control and balance, preventing power from being concentrated in one of them
, with the consequent abuses and dangers that this would entail.
The republican form of government, enshrined in the National Constitution, has as its primary characteristic this separation of powers.
Beyond the strangeness that it can cause, this misunderstanding of said separation is not new in Kirchnerism.
It already happened, by case, when the
Supreme Court ordered, on five occasions, to reinstate the Attorney General before the Superior Court of Santa Cruz
, Eduardo Sosa, displaced by then-Governor Néstor Kirchner,
without that restitution ever taking place
, and even despite the guarantee of immobility of that position.
"We are going to return and we will be better," promised Alberto Fernández in the campaign.
Back, they came back.
The other half of the promise is pending.
